1802 cast of the West Frieze of the Parthenon block III

As in block XII, so here we see three figures - including one boy - around a horse. Like figure 24 on block XII, this boy holds something in his hands - probably a staff. On the far side of the horse, a bearded marshal raises his right arm as he rushes forward, perhaps to signal an instruction or to take hold of the headstall of the apparently nervous animal. Figure 4, who must be the horseman, perhaps holds the end of a ribbon which he is binding to head. If so, this was painted in.
